Joe V and baseball

I bow to your superior knowledge of baseball  :hail: .  "Lights Out" Lidge turned into "Lightweight" Lidge, and Jermaine Dye and Paul Konerko came through big time.  Congrats to the ChiSox, 11-1 in the playoffs, is pretty impressive.

A quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself.

Ziggy,

A TEAM OF DESTINY.  Just like the 1988 Dodgers.  And when the starters got hot - especially in the AL LCS - that sort of clinched it for me.

It didn't play out exactly the way I saw it, but Chicago has won *CLOSE* games at a ridiculous rate all year long.  When you've got a team that can consistently win 1-run games, with a hot pitching staff, and the BETTER-BY-THE-NUMBERS pitching staff, it's a team bound to do well.  For the life of me, I couldn't understand why the White Sox were getting no love.  In the tougher league, they had the best record, and won *99* games...just 1 short of St. Louis's 100.

It just seemed like a team screaming out at me, "We're going to win this thing!"

 
Joe

Apparently his knowledge isn't THAT great.  American League League Championship Series seems kind of redundant, but perhaps it's just me.
